2015 Ford Escape Check Engine Light Reset

Resetting the check engine light on a 2015 Ford Escape is straightforward with the right diagnostic approach, but resetting without correcting the underlying fault only masks symptoms. At Larry H. Miller Ford Lincoln Draper in Draper, UT, our certified technicians use Ford OEM scanners to read and clear codes after confirming repairs. We explain each code, its cause, and the maintenance or repair needed so you know whether a reset is appropriate. Using OEM parts and factory procedures protects your vehicle’s warranty—any warranty-covered repairs must be completed at a certified dealership to remain valid. Our process emphasizes transparency: you get a clear estimate, a timeline, and a technician explanation before any work begins. Choosing the dealership often costs less than independent shops when factoring immediate reliability, fewer repeat visits, and long-term preservation of vehicle value. We also offer service financing to handle unexpected repairs now and pay over time. Before we clear codes, we recommend checking for related symptoms like rough idle, reduced fuel economy, or drivability issues.

2015 Ford Escape Check Engine Light Codes
